With multiple permission levels for the Approval process, for example, different users can be assigned different permissions, allowing Mine Action Programmes to implement a Data Entry workflow that distinguishes between Data Entry and Data Verification roles. It is recommended to set up a permission structure that reserves approval authority for Data Entry Forms for the most experienced users.
Some of the permissions have [[Change Permission Access Level | two different levels]]:
* Read-only
* Read and Write

Permissions allow a {{Note | Ensure that NMAA has '''exclusive''' control over user to view information related to a functionaccounts and roles, Data Entry Form templates, or view the Data Inventory Manager and change information related to a functionAuxiliary data. }}
Access to {{IMSMANG}} functions are handled by the permissions. Permissions allow a user to view information related to a function, or view and change information related to a function. Roles are named groups of permissions that can be assigned to users. {{IMSMANG}} includes several [[Predefined Roles | predefined roles]] with the installation. It is '''strongly''' recommended to customise these roles to the need of the Mine Action Programme. It is of course also possible to add new roles or copy existing roles.
IMSMA includes several predefined roles that have one or more permissions assigned to them. The predefined IMSMA roles are Operations, System Administrator, Data Entry, and Guest.
